Don't know about the issues you're having but you don't need to be rooted to downgrade, just pick any rom you like and flash with flashtool.

Update fail?

I updated my xperia neo via OTA(the update 2.3.4). I tried to install however after 5 minutes, my phone turned on and it said that : could not install.....(or something like that, i dont remember clearly)
Is there anyone has the same problem?
Sorry for my bad english
is your phone rooted ?
My guess is that you phone is rooted and you changed something in the /system/apps/ folder, so you can't update OTA. You should re-flash back at 2.3.2 and then do a OTA or update with the PC Companion software but in this way you will lose root...

No, you got the problem only if you are already with the 2.3.4, if you flash back to 2.3.2 from the 2.3.3 firmware you should have no problem.
I tried restoring some apps which i had removed and download the update again however, the problem still remains.

Use wotanserver or flashtool. Faster and with flashtool you dont lose your apps and dont need mess restoring apps.

Read the forum and you see.. when updating 2.3.2 to 2.3.4 you got problems with battery. You had right now 2.3.3 and dont mess downgrading. Use flashtool..download latest 2.3.4 ftf and flash it. I did it about 5 times for testings and no problems at all.

I alway when flash new firmaware then i wipe device and after that i havent root.
I use different method to get root back. If your bootloader is open then you can easly make root back.
Use "rootxperia.zip" via clockworkmod recovery.
So. Is you phone bootloader open or on?
Anyone can confirm that?

Its good choice. When you have working computer, then make you updates.
Always good to have a usb cable and a working PC on hand when doing any flashing/updating/rooting etc with your phone. with 2.3.4 once it's installed and if you don't have root, as long as you have an unlocked bootloader you can use rootxperia to root your phone, however the kernel for overclocking etc (doomkernel) isn't working yet with 2.3.4 so i suggest until it is 100% working to stay clear of this, also to stay clear of any downgrades to 2.3.2 when you are on the 2.3.4 firmware.

[Q] How to trick the phone manufacturers?

Hey guys,I hope to solve my problem.I read threads regarding this but couldnt understand.
So here it is,I got a micromax A87 phone a month ago,then I rooted it.I removed the manufucturers RAM hungry apps.Everything was fine,but from yesterday on call(both incoming and outgoing) I cant here the voice,but they can hear mine.Though I can hear them on speaker and headphone.
So now I want to give to company service center so what should I do?
1.Flash the phone with custom rom or
2.Unroot and install all those preinstalled manufacturer apps
I would like to do the second method.So my question is in which method I can fake that device was not rooted so I can reclaim my warranty? suggest if there is another method and how does the manufacturer come to know if i rooted the phone?
Try a factory custom rom. Then remove root. Most manfacturers dont care though.

Well put them back then. And then find a zip or an app that unroots the phone.

Unroot your phone and give it to service center.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
There are two solutions
1.you could find another member with your phone and get the apps that you deleted and unroot and give it to service!
Or
2. You could flash stone random rom and brick you device completely and give it back to service saying that it won't start up and hope they don't find out!
Personally I'd suggest you go for 1

U have a hardware problm
Why would they count the number of stock apps
Just unroot
And do a hard reset
Dun worry

Right you think its useless? Or that you cant flash a custom rom with flashtool?
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
It's not useless at all, but it's useless here. For a custom Rom you need to unlock boot loader which will definitely void warranty. Be safe man.
Sent from Xperia P, using tapatalk.
download an official jb firmware for your phone! download flashtool! enable usb debugging and connect your phone to the pc! Then choose the file you have downloaded and flash it!
You can also use SUS (Sony Update Service)......BTW did you use pcc to install it or downloaded it OTA.....
Sent from Space!
Try SUS/PCC like a lot here are saying. Hope your Internet connection is enough. God knows I tried via official methods but ended up downloading a generic ftf and flashing it.

Slight correction needed IMO: You need to unlock your BL only when your CUSTOM ROM needs a CUSTOM KERNEL.
He can try to repair phone with pcc or he can unlock bootloader and install STOCK or Custom Rom, who says that flashtool is only for custom roms , With unlocked boot loader he will void warranty.. yes.. a part that... he can lock the bootloader again..and I have not seen written anywhere in his topic question that he does not want to lose warranty... so mine it was just a suggestion... not an Obligation
Take care friend

anyways. My xperia P hasn't got any official update. and i am also waitng for official update rather than a manual update, I know the flashtool method is not a risky one but still you may get some problems in using jellybean. Becase the generic version and your S.I version would not be the same. my S.I = 1261-4989 ,
I have heard many bugs in jellybean, Album issue, white screen in contact and messaging, blutooth broblem, fast drain battery prob, slow charging, lagging, etc i wants to know, are these bugs are real or just a wrong imagination. Thanks
I havent seen any bugs so far for JB on xGO. And it performs quite nicely without having to edit build.prop or run init.d scripts. I'm using CE ftf.
Let's go, xGO! To the Jelly Cave!
JB stock, locked, and rooted.

Help needed: Ota verification issue

Hello, i am currently on 17.1.2.A.0.314, rooted with SuperSU with survival mode enabled. I get the update notification for 23.0.1.A.0.167, but when i download and try to install it, it says verification failed. I had recovery installed previously but i reflashed the stock firmware to remove it( i didn't wipe the data though), but still it says verification failed. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

your rom has to match stock to be able to update
Any changes need to be removed (root, mods, Other stuff alike )

My rom is purely stock with no modifications at all except the root. Some people updated over the air and that saved the root, that's what i was trying to do too.

im not sure how they did it then :/
root counts as a modified system because you have the SU binary and superuser manager
As I told in another thread, OTA update with root is pure luck if everything went good and remain root.

I was able to update rooted phone over the air many times before this one. Now i'll update only when there is some working root method for 4.4.4 (because i just don't want to flash a pre-rooted firmware as i don't want set up the whole phone from starting). Anyway, thanks for help ?.

You need to carry out an OTA upgrade for that to work not all carriers support OTA. And those that do may carry out checks that fail, try flashing stock UK (unbranded) .314 I know people who've had success with that one.

You might have to settle for avoiding 4.4.4 then, as I don't know how much effort devs are putting I into finding a new exploit when flashing a pre-rooted rom is so trivial.
Ok i'll try that, but if it fails too then i won't update to 4.4.4.

Mobile Odin requires one time root access to flash files.So that won't work.
